First 1/4 mile pass 9.536 @ 141.67 mph video

Even though I have had the car together and running for a couple months now, I have been just trying to dial it in at a nearby 1/8th mile track. Last thursday I found out why I was having trouble with my 60' times, the passenger side relocation bracket for the lower control arm was moving / bending. On the next day (friday) I was supposed to go to Famoso (1/4 mile track), so I decided just to remove the brackets and remount the lower control arms to the stock locations so I could go racing. This screwed up the geometry so I was spinning pretty good out of the hole. So the bad news is the 60' times where in the low 1.4Xs. The good news is the car still managed a 9.536 @ 141.67 mph. So once I get the suspension sorted out, this is definitely a high 9.3X car on motor only.

Here is a video I made, using the Go Pro HD:

WOW! AWESOME!

COOL!

5th pass this weekend on my new combo ran a 6.13 at 115.3. Hopefully I'm looking at your kinda times in the 1/4. Got some left in mine too. That would be the shit!

Nice Job!

very nice production

Your mph is basically the same, no reason why you shouldn't be in the 9.50s. I notice in the 9.60 index class we run out here, most have 1/8th mile times of 6.15, so you should be right there.

Thanks! Hoping for 9.30s when I go back out there in a couple weeks.

Wished you had too. I didn't get to talk to near as many as I would have liked. Chased bugs all day Friday.

Hey psfracer, This new motor should be able to run in the 5.70 range hopefully! What would that be???? 9.30's

No way, you would more then likely be in the high 8s.

Here is one of the more accurate conversion tables I have found. Obviously every car is different depending on the mph, but this particular table shows a 6.1 being a 9.52, and that matches perfectly with my car.

Anyway it shows a 5.70 as being an 8.89.

Man, I would absolutly shit myself if it would run that on motor. It's only a 514.

Yeah I am finding out what it "should" run vs what it actually runs is very different.

How much does your car weigh?

Not sure now, added alot more cage. Last year with an 8 point and the SCJ headed motor with me in it, it was just under 3200lbs. I weigh about 200. I'm guessing close to 3300 now. Need to put it on a diet, but I don't want to take away from the stock looking interior.
